Starbreeze Engine Going Next-Gen

Swedish developer Starbreeze is planning to port its engine technology - called the Starbreeze Engine - to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 2 platforms, according to a job posting which appeared on the developers site this week.
The firm had previously announced that it was working on a next-generation action title for a US publisher, but this is the first mention weve heard of them leveraging their (hugely impressive) existing engine on forthcoming platforms.
Starbreeze is best known for its critically acclaimed Xbox FPS title Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, which is to be released on the PC this week, and is widely tipped to receive a sequel thanks to the commercial success of the game - despite the fact that the film it was based on flopped at the box office.
